Is London a dangerous city? One way to answer that is to compare London to other major global cities. TL;DR: crime in London isn’t particularly high compared to other global cities in Europe and North America, but is higher than in Asia. A thread 🧵 …

This @odnb entry on Clive Emsley certainly ranks highest for anything I've written on the trouble taken : words written ratio. It could never do him justice, but hopefully it's nevertheless some testament to the remarkable life of a wonderful man doi.org/10.1093/odnb/9780198…

Is it possible to reliably compare crime rates across the developed world’s largest cities? Actually, it’s harder than you might think, but for interesting reasons. A thread for nerds 🤓…

Various claims being made about crime trends in London since 2016. Here I've prepared two charts of indexed monthly data looking at knife crime and gun crime trends relative to May 2016. The #knifecrime data tells a mixed story: overall numbers up since 2016, but injuries down.

Great to return to the @Moneybox studio to chat with the legendary @paullewismoney and @bbcdanw about cryptocurrency-related fraud and how criminals encourage people to ‘invest’, downplay the risks and use tactics to rush them into decisions.

Thefts using cryptocurrency doubled from 2020 to 2023 - £175m stolen. A woman in her eighties had her life savings of more than seventy thousand pounds stolen. Money Box got it back for her but that is rare. @bbcdanw and criminologist @DrLisCarter on @Moneybox noon @BBCRadio4
